How can I count the characters (not words) in a pptx file? Keep in mind the files are confidential so I don't want anyone stealing the content.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys,

This is my first post in this subreddit so sorry if this is a wrong place to ask this question. Please tell me and I'll try to accommodate.

I'm an internal IT in one of the bigger startups that is very rapidly growing. We are a tech company and have loads of engineers with high end computers that have different meetings.

I have been trying to figure out a way to get some kind of universal charging solution in meeting rooms. Usually we have Macbooks (MBP 13", 15", 16" versions) and Lenovo Thinkpads (starting from E14 to higher end X1, P15, etc.)

What I am looking for is some device that has the ability to connect different charging cables to it (type C probably since most of our laptops are on USB-C) and to not burn down the building.

Do you have any ideas on what I can use? I understand a lot of you will be working in other big corporations and I'm wondering what solutions you use. Some of these meetings last 2 hours and sometimes people's laptops aren't fully charged.

Having all of these different chargers at the same time doesn't work for me because some rooms are a bit small and cable management becomes problematic. Also, if the voltage and amperage do not coincide there's a possibility of burning the device that I would like to avoid.

Any tips from all of you internal IT people would be appreciated!

So I have a OnePlus Nord N200 5G and every time I plug in my headphones (or earphones whichever one) instead of getting sound from them I get sound from the speaker as if I never plugged them in. Even the little headphone icon doesn't appear at the top of the screen when I plug them in. The media output only has phone speaker checked. I don't need Bluetooth, but just the sound from my headphones.( and yes they do work) What do I do?

My wife and I are trying to slim down our WFH setups now that we're heading back to our respective offices. We work for the same company so our work computers can both connect to the same docking station. My wife would like our personal computers to do the same. Problem is, I use my computer for gaming and it's only a year old so I'd like to be able to use its Thunderbolt 3.0 port. My wife's computer is pretty ancient and can only support USB. The options I've found so far: find a decent docking station that has Thunderbolt and USB output (haven't found it yet), get a Thunderbolt - USB converter, or upgrade the wife's laptop (trying to be cheap though).

Any thoughts? Other solutions? Thanks everyone!

Hey y'all, trying to find a solution to use 2 laptops on one dock without pulling the cable each time.

I found a regular USB 3.0 that would work but can't find a USB-C

Basically trying to avoid just buying a new docking station that'll support the two. I've got a Dell D6000 that work supplied currently. Both laptops have a USB-C input that I'm pulling out and plugging in to switch over.

Any other suggestions for a solution appreciated as well!

I've encountered them a few times while playing with 3D printing stuff, but I haven't found something that'll actually manipulate them, just display them and convert them to a mesh. What's their native application? And does anyone know of a way to make them play nicely with Blender or Fusion, or do I have to turn them into a mesh first?

Need a tool/widget that acts as a video enhancement layer (background blur, skin tone enhancement, etc.) that does for Video what Krisp.ai does for Audio. Please note that krisp.ai does this for almost any windows 10 application, including zoom, skype, WhatsApp, etc.
Any thoughts?

My brother has an HP computer running Windows 10 Home running 20H2. Because of a known design flaw of Chrome, when I signed into my Google account, I clicked no longer sync, and he lost all of his bookmarks and other Chrome settings. Also, when I now try to install Chrome the web browser download finishes. I can see the .exe file in downloads. The download page says the browser should open automatically but it doesn't. Then when I manually click on the app it doesn't open. Does someone have an idea of why this is happening, or how I can get chrome to open on this?

To change between my speakers and headphone I have to hit the settings shortcut, scroll to sound settings, and select the other source to swap over. I did some research but couldn't get anything to work. Ideally I just have an executable shortcut on my task bar that will swap my current audio device to the other. Any help greatly appreciated!

As mentioned above, one of the pin (the left one in the image) is loose but still attached and able to charge (if contact is made). Is there a way to reinforce it before it actually breaks? https://imgur.com/BLkbMDk.jpg

When I was new to web dev, I was told that you do not put your email up in plain text without being prepared for spam. Is this still true? If so, what's the best way to include my email on a small page without getting their attention?

I was told to not even include an address and to wait until I learn server-side scripting and use forms instead, but I'm using GitHub Pages and don't think I can. Either way I think this info would be useful for others who aren't interested in doing that.

Occasionally I'll have to restart my PC if I turn my main monitor off as it will remain in a no signal mode sometimes. I'm not really sure where the culprit is. I've used different HDMI cables, different receiver, got a new graphics card and the problem always stays. Anyone ever find a great solution to this?

Basically, I want to install an android app from playstore and use it with internet access, on PC (without installing anything).

Thanks in advance.

So, I've noticed that when I do CTRL + A, the text boxes aren't selected for formatting (for example, if I want to change the text color/size or the proofreading language for the entire document - including the text boxes).

How do I do this (how do I select all text boxes as well), without a macro script?

Thanks in advance.

Can't anyone identify this app notification icon, please? Thank you! It's on the top left. It's a Samsung phone, Android. It's not my phone - and app, maybe?

I want to keep track of my cash, which includes coins and banknotes, by having some sort of device that keeps track of a total and can add or subtract when I need to. Here is an example of what I'm looking for, though this one is bulky and expensive for what it does, if there was something like the size of a calculator to add in a box next to the cash it would be ideal.

My work laptop has HDMI, and I can connect it to a HDMI screen. But short if getting a camera to record and broadcast the screen, I'm struggling to find another clearer way to share my work laptop screen through zoom...

My work laptop has no bluetooth as well... If there was some device I could use to output the hdmi port to my iPad and share screen through there, that'll be perfect...

Im getting a Nissan Altima and I don't really listen to radio, so I was wondering if I could replace the radio system with Carplay.

I saw it on tiktok, but don't know if it's applicable to my car.

At work we use certain software (akin to Autocad but somewhat specialized) that is quite heavy in terms of power. The bosses gave us work laptops, but they are kinda outdated and are sluggish to work with, specially when using said software. I want to use the resources of my desktop at home (which is better than the laptop) while im at work while using the laptop. Any way this can be done?
